A cylindrical core-shell-like TiO<sub>2 </sub>nanotube array anode for flexible fiber-type dye-sensitized solar cells

A cylindrical core-shell-like TiO<sub>2 </sub>nanotube array anode for flexible fiber-type dye-sensitized solar cells

<p>Abstract</p> <p>A versatile anodization method was reported to anodize Ti wires into cylindrical core-shell-like and thermally crystallized TiO<sub>2 </sub>nanotube (TNT) arrays that can be directly used as the photoanodes for semi- and all-solid fiber-type dye-sensi...
